DFT to price Single Barriers

<t> Hi,I am trying to compare the speeds between a trinomial lattice and FFT method to price discretely monitored barrier options.FFT: For example when considering a DOWN and Out Call: * I calculate the pricing kernel given by the underlying asset price process, which consists of three risk neutral ...

Duan Markov Chain for Discrete Barrier options

<t>I have been told by my supervisor (Dr Ales Cerny) that the Duan Markov chain method should be my benchmark. This method is better than Quadrature, since it is simplistic to implement and it uses the whole underlying asset price distribution instead of approximating the distribution using a polyno...
